Hibiscin for Mucin

Stain Technology, 1982
Yamamota and Oshima in 1932 extracted a crystalline anthocyanin coloring material from the flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa which they called hibiscin. In 1976 El-Aaser and Gowali successfully used hibiscin as a stain for DNA on frozen sections. This paper reports on the staining capacity of this dye for epithelial mucin in paraffin sections.

Mucinous Nevus

The Journal of Dermatology, 2005
AbstractA 15‐year‐old boy first noticed multiple firm papules on his right upper chest two years before presenting to our clinic. These papules were densely distributed and showed epidermal nevus‐like linear arrangement at some sites. The number, size, and distribution of these papules remained unchanged for one year of our observation.

Mucus and Mucins

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2010
A variety of mucoactive medications are used to treat chronic lung disease. When evaluating the role of the cough, it must be considered as an important protective mechanism. Therefore, it may be more important to improve the effectiveness of cough than to suppress or eliminate a chronic cough in patients with chronic lung disease.

Mucin Exocytosis

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1991
Abstract Mucins produced by goblet cells of the respiratory mucosa are condensed while stored in secretory granules. Mucin condensation and its decondensation upon exocytosis can be explained by the theory of polymer gel phase transition. After the opening of a secretory pore, Ca2+ inside the granule is exchanged for extracellular Na+.

Mucins of the eye

Der Ophthalmologe, 1999
The present knowledge about ocular mucins is presented.Mucins are glycoproteins of high polymer structure. Following the classification of the Human Gene Mapping Committee, they are subdivided in MUC1-9. They are an important component of the tear film and are found in conjunctival and corneal ocular surface epithelia.

Mucins and Immune Reactions to Mucins in Ulcerative Colitis

Digestion, 2001
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of undetermined etiology. Mucins, mainly produced by goblet cells, protect colon cells from various kinds of stress. Alteration in the quality or quantity of mucins may be the cause of the disease. Another possible cause is immune reactions to colonic cells.

Mucins and mucin binding proteins in colorectal cancer

Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2004
Mucins are high-molecular weight epithelial glycoproteins with a high content of clustered oligosaccharides O-glycosidically linked to tandem repeat peptides rich in threonine, serine, and proline. There are two structurally and functionally distinct classes of mucins: secreted gel-forming mucins (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6) and transmembrane mucins

Human Milk Oligosaccharides Increase Mucin Expression in Experimental Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018
SCOPE Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of morbidity and death in preterm infants, occurring more often in formula-fed than breastfed infants.

Mucins and Mucus

2015
Mucosal surfaces are exposed to the external environment and pathogens and are therefore protected by a secreted layer of mucus rich in mucin glycoproteins, which are the main components of mucus. Mucus provides physical protection and hydration, excludes pathogens, and is a reservoir for antimicrobial molecules.

Mucin Methods: Genes Encoding Mucins and Their Genetic Variation with a Focus on Gel-Forming Mucins

2011
Mucin genes encode the polypeptide backbone of the mucin glycoproteins which are expressed on all epithelial surfaces and are major constituents of the mucus layer. Mucins are, thus, expressed at the interface between the external and the internal environment of the organism, and represent the first line of defence of our body.
